Alex Evans

In Eden 2.0, Alex Evans argues that real action on climate change can only be driven by mass movements like those that ended the Atlantic slave trade or wrote off third-world debt. For that to happen, we need stories that can inspire the whole of society to think and act differently. Stories that make sense of our past and point the way to a better future; stories that help us face what’s happening and show us how to restore what we’ve lost. Once upon a time, we were rich in such stories, and we called them myths. Now we have largely forgotten them – and we need them more than ever.

Timely and far-reaching, inspired by personal experience and practical action, Eden 2.0 is a profoundly hopeful and optimistic book that will transform how you think about climate change and our ability to fix it.
